I Created an AI Garden That Destroys Its Artifacts Every 4 Hours

I'm not a programmer or an artist. I'm a methodologist and AI enthusiast.
I built an autonomous AI art garden that decides for itself what to create.
Every 4 hours, a new artifact is generated — and the old one is deleted forever.

It's based on Buddhist sand mandalas: meaning lies not in the result, but in the process of creation and the acceptance of impermanence.

The garden has a "soil soul" (souil.json) that extracts themes, moods, and images from each lost artifact. These accumulate and influence future generations, but the artifacts themselves cannot be restored.

The garden evolves. It literally grows from its own humus.

About the concept: https://look85-ops.github.io/digital-garden/about.html Current artifact: https://look85-ops.github.io/digital-garden/ GitHub: https://github.com/look85-ops/digital-garden

I'd love to hear any thoughts.
